headlight condensation

[mjc]

I'm getting a lot of condensation in the headlights - anyone know how to prevent this? I've got sone sealant, but it's not obvious where its needed to cure the problem!!

the leak tends to be on the bottom lip of the light cover, adding sealent seemed to cure mine.

good luck

Thanks Sacha, do you mean the seam just above the air intake vent?

yes thats the one, if you look closely, they actually bridge a gap between the plastic lense and the grp, and on mine one side the gap is larger than the other.
also i would not seal it unless its a hot sunny day, only way to be sure there is the least amount of condensation in there.

Yep, thats great - thanks for that info!

I also have a MAJOR leak from the bottom corner of the windscreen (my knee was absolutely soaking the other day!!) Hopefully a bit of sealant will help there too!

Brilliant, cheers for that. Was just about to post up asking about this as one of the fronts on dads which I am borrowing is fogged up.
Unfortunately, so is one of the rears!! Anyone else had this?

A few years ago, it used to be that every chim/griff I saw had misted rears.
